fred was only out on bond. he still was charged with murder and had the threat of a retrial hanging over his head. >> we were extremely hopeful that they could change their minds and decide not to go forward again. >> and we were really hoping for that. >> reporter: more than just hoping. in fact, the family actually met with prosecutors and lobbied against another trial. did that weigh into whether to go to a second trial at all, the fact that this entire family, leslie's family included, did not want a trial? >> absolutely. we have to consider their position. we have to consider where they're coming from. >> reporter: then one part of the decision was made for them. the judge threw out the most serious charge, first-degree murder. why? the judge ruled prosecutors didn't have enough evidence to establish premeditation. >> we did manage to get an acquittal on the first-degree murder charge. >> reporter: prosecutors could still move ahead with second-degree murder, but would they? that 11 to 1 vote surely made a

fred: liz? liz: one thing this conversation has me thinking about is the importance that these founding documents and paper collections that these documentary editors, like sarah, put together for us have been very important. but it also makes you think about everyone else who participated and the different documents that are out there about them. there is a lot of exciting work going on around the fact that the founders were not the only people involved in creating a revolution and the nation. so, you know, you have historians working on -- there was a book published recently about the african-american patriots who served in the continental army and their reasons for doing so. you have rob parkinson, who published a book called "the common cause," looking at how the patriots used media to bound everybody together, saying that enslaved people will revolt and native americans will massacre your town, so it was fear mongering, and they were using the press that way. historians are starting to look

fred: what provides continuity to the american character? what is one thing that has been a constant since the early days prior to the american revolution, building up to today? matt: i touched on it a little bit already, but the way i think about this is that we stand as a nation in a current of dialogue around a set of fundamental questions. hey are not questions given to us necessarily by the founders or by the founding generation, but they deeply run through the era of the revolution and the revolution settlement. they are the questions each generation has to grapple with for their own time and find fresh answers to. those questions run something like this. who speaks for me? how do i have a voice? what is my recourse when my voice is not heard, and then this question of who is inside and who is outside the circle of "we the people?" that is the current i think that binds us together. stephen: the questions i know rush brought up -- his main thing was he wrote after the revolutionary war the war's over but the revolution just started. ke

>> reporter: fred, it's still a very active scene. that's why we're all the way back here on 2nd avenue where the blast happened, but the perimeter is set up several blocks away from us. you can see police cars there flashing their lights and blocking off with tape. there's actually a curfew right now to keep people away from this area. that started the afternoon of christmas day. that will go into sunday afternoon. it means that some of the residents who live right by where the explosion happened, the people who heard the first gunshots, called 911 and then heard the ominous recorded message from the rv. they evacuated when this happened and they really haven't been able to go back in. here's one witness who told cnn just how terrifying those moments were. >> today we're starting to look for our animals. i was not able to get my cat out. i barely made it out myself. there was glass everywhere, there was large objects, there was wood, there was stuff to climb over and i was unable to get my cat. today we've got a little organization t

without fred hill's persistence, it could have been a very different outcome. he was so determined to prove the need for eight guns, not four, that he went home armed with the results of the most recent firing trials, as well as one of the latest calculating machines, and he asked his daughterfor help. together, sitting around their small kitchen table in north london, they worked long into the night analysing the data. you wouldn't expect most 13—year—olds to be able to do that kind of maths, so she must have been a pretty remarkable mathematician. a lot of this work was done clandestinely, in secret, by a few dedicated individuals who didn't really have any money available. but in a way, it's not surprising. the budgets available to these people were very sparse, if indeed they had any budget at all. and in the accounts given by a lot of them, they talk about burning the midnight oil and coming into the office late after everybody‘s gone to carry out further calculations and borrow some bits of equipment to carry out experiments, more or less off their

. >> reporter: right, fred. well, we just got here a few minutes ago, but i can tell you what this looks like here. authorities have this roadblocked off. this is actually right at the entrance of a state park, cedars of lebanon state park. i just talked to someone who lives right on the other side of this barricade, and she says she's been stuck, unable to go home since about 11:30 this morning. she went to drop off her kids at church, and, you know, 20 minutes later, she comes back and can't get to her house. so this has been the scene for several, several hours. and at first, you know, people waiting here had no idea what was going on. but as we now know from a press release from law enforcement, they did receive a call at about 10:30 today of a white truck parked at a crosstown mall. it's about a 10, 15 minute drive from where we are right here, i'm told, from the people who live over here. and that it was playing similar audio to the truck involved in the christmas morning bombing at downtown nashville. fro

but you know, so here's the other issue, fred. the doj intelligence unit, also these government documents show that in december 2016, the justice department intelligence unit said we're not going to support the fbi getting fisa wiretaps on trump campaign aid george papandreou. your take on that? >> well i mean there was no evidence to justify spying on the trump campaign. there were some people in the government who were well aware of this but john brennan and comey and so many others they were out to destroy the president. we also know from these documents that the referral that started the whole investigation in late july actual didn't start, strzok makes it clear, when the u.s. government got a referral from the australian government about supposed collusion with the trump campaign in russia, there was already an investigation you know way. i think that is very important to understand that the fbi and john brennan were out to get trump for months before that happened. elizabeth: it is an interesting point you just made, fred. d

>> absolutely, fred. this is where partnership with the private sector by law enforcement is absolutely critical. this isn't big brother watching, but finding video of evidentiary value is critical. investigators both local and federal are combing through the video right now just for that. they're looking for the premeditated, preattack indicators, people who were scouting out this area, maybe even that vehicle in and of itself to try to garner what was the motivational, you know, behind this tragic incident. >> jonathan wacker, always good to see you. thank you so much. >> thanks a lot, fred. >> tennessee governor bill lee calling on president trump to issue an emergency declaration to assist in nashville's ongoing relief effort. president trump is receiving regular updates about the blast, but he's yet to address it publicly. instead, he has spent the day amplifying false claims of election fraud still on twitter. cnn white house reporter sarah westwood joining me now from west palm beach. so sarah, wha

>> a lot of people are very anxious, fred. in talking to tenants and housing advocates yesterday, the only thing clear is the lack of clarity. they don't know if there's going to be more assistance for the unemployed and whether there will be any tenant protections in the new year. 2020 has been a year of firsts for victoria gidens and none have been cause for celebration. in march, as the pandemic forced much of the economy closed, gidens, who had just accepted a job with a rental car company at the airport, had that offer rescinded. a first for 30-year-old gidens who lives with her boyfriend and their 2-year-old son. >> we have a 2-year-old to take care of. i was so depressed at the moment. >> reporter: two incomes in january became one by march. then as she struggled to find work and stay on top of some bills, another first. an eviction notice on her door telling her, she had to be out by january 6th. >> i am stressed every day. i try not to let it show. >> reporter: especially not in front of her son who can sense when som

fred? >> jeremy diamond, thank you so much, in west palm beach. >>> joining me is congresswoman sheila jackson lee, a democrat from texas, and a member of the house judiciary committee. you have said that the current $900 million relief deal with keep many americans from dies. what did you mean by that? >> first, thank you to the laud enforcement officers in nashville, that america holds a debt of gratitude to ensure there was minimal or no loss of life except what has been determined, to have rescued or saved or got the people out of the area. we thank them and i thank you for allowing me to do that on behalf of the homeland security committee. we probably will investigate this at some point. i did say that and i really believe it, because i'm standing at a food distribution site at a local church, we're also discussing a surge of violence coming about because of a lot of covid-19 and the stress, but the $900 billion is a stopgap measure to bridge across the new year and save lives. that m

>> fred, you touched on a very important point there. you are referring to the comments made by one of the directors at the fda saying the united states is the first country to have two effective and safe vaccines in its arsenal of weapons against this deadly pandemic. and the timing couldn't be -- really can't come soon enough here as many parts of the country, many experts saying they are going to be experiencing the situation get worse before it gets any better. worst case covid scenarios are playing out all over the country as vaccines are administered almost as quickly as they're delivered, more than a million and a half new covid cases reported in just the last week. u.s. surgeon general jerome adams among those already vaccinated against the virus. >> i am really pumped because this is, again, the light at the end of the tunnel we've been waiting for. this is the beginning of the end. make no mistake about it. it's going to be a hard couple of weeks. we've still got work to do to get over this surge. but i want people to be encour

great to see you, fred. >> great to be here. >> good to see you. move on to the other story with national security implications, alleged chinese spy christine fang's extensive ties with california democrat eric swalwell. fred, you point out the gaping, huge government security loophole here. what is it? >> you know it is unbelievable, i worked for the cia and house intelligence committee staff. in each case i had to undergo an fbi background investigation every five years. they look my finances. talk to my neighbors. find out who my relatives were. at cia i had to undergo polygraph and drug test. members of the house intelligence committee don't undergo any of this. they get access to the nation's most sensitive secrets just being elected. if eric swalwell had undergone routine fbi investigation this fang fang woman have been found immediately. i think something has to be done immediately so we make sure members of congress are not compromised by foreign intelligence services. elizabeth: should there be a probe of this, should there be a special co

>> reporter: fred, as you mentioned, in a way, this is the hardest time to talk about this. because we're seeing those images like pete was reporting on of the vaccine rolling out. you see footage of people getting the vaccine and it gives everybody hope this might be over pretty soon, but the science tells us that's just not the case. as you mentioned, friday was one of the single highest record days of new cases we've seen since this began. three of those highest days have been in the past week. five of those highest days have been in the past month. so this thing is still very much with us. let's dig in on the friday numbers. 250,000 cases in a single day. more than 114,000 people in american hospitals are being treated for complications of coronavirus. folks are waiting to see what will happen with this vaccine but we're still waiting to see what will happen because of thanksgiving when people travel. listen to dr. amesh adalja on what we might be seeing in the next couple of weeks. >> we haven't even seen the print brunt of what happened in thanksgiving and then transla

>> fred, i wish i could take you behind the doors of the er with me. we're seeing day by day increasing numbers of patients with covid-19, both those who are a little bit sick and those who are really sick. we're also seeing increasing numbers of patients who have survived their initial bout with covid but now are having long-lasting symptoms that are making it impossible for them to work, to do their normal activities, that dreaded long covid syndrome. and as that happens, our hospitals are filling up. and our workers are getting sick. our floors are short on techs, on respiratory therapists, on nurses. our doctors are covering for each other both in order to cover for those who are out sick and to help us open our field hospital here in rhode island. and we are on the verge of being in a crisis state. >> so megan, as a nurse, how has this pandemic affected you, your colleagues? tell me, you know, what personally you're thinking and feeling and experiencing on a day-to-day basis. >> sure. so i think the second surge that we're experiencing is quite di

, fred, buddy. the scientists our guests tonight are three of my favorite people, please welcome back to the show, for their annual thanksgiving day appearance, my mother hilary, my father larry and my brother josh how are you meyers family? >> good. >> great >> doing well. >> it is so nice to see you all. now, i know we're all disappointed that we can't be here together. mom, you took it hard, but you did hear that dr. fauci's children were not coming to see him. >> i did it was the last sentence in an interview in the "new york times" and they said - they asked him what he's doing for thanksgiving he said, "none of my adult children are flying home, it's too dangerous for us." so i thought, if it's okay for dr. fauci, then i'm with him i'm with him >> seth: that's, i think, very wise now one thing of course, as soon as you get here, mom, we make sure that we have a cocktail for you. we're a little worried that you won't have one tonight okay, there. you got one right away okay, good >> yeah, and i

>> well, first, fred, i'd like to thank you for sharing with us. a lot of times we don't share that we are all harmed. no matter or stature, you know, we have all these stories of famous people who have not been listened to, so thank you for sharing that experience. what we really need now is accountability. we need federal and global policy, a white house that will commit to undoing racism in all the policies. people think about racism as an opinion, as someone -- if you think about the response of the hospital administration to the murder and the death of dr. susan moore, it was about perceptions, and who was right or wrong, but if we create a structure that says some people have more value by law, by policy, for generations, then you get outcomes based upon that structure, those policies, not just personal opinion or taste or who's believed to be part of the in including or not. -- we need a policy response. if we're going to end the racist policy that are baked into -- not just into our infrastructure as a country, not just through slavery, jim

. >> reporter: hi, fred. in the last 30 minutes or so, this advisory committee voted 13-1 on it is next two phases of who should be prioritized for this vaccine. as you just mentioned, we've already been seeing front line health care workers and long-term care facility residents getting this vaccine already. so, what we're seeing now is what they call the phase 1-b and 1-c they just voted on. let's look at that chart because what they're trying to balance here is saving lives, especially of the vulnerable as well as making sure society runs well. so, at phase 1-b, that's where most of the committee really agreed on this with no problem. we're talking about people age 75 and up as well as front line essential workers. that's, you know, teachers, firefighters, policemen, et cetera. the phase 1-c is kind of where we saw more debate among the committee members today because we're talking about 65 to 74-year-olds. we're talking about younger people with chronic health conditions. and that's where they were debatin

>> reporter: well, it is all hands on deck, fred. as we said expanding into the icus in the hospitals. let's take a look at the numbers. almost 19,000 people hospitalized in california and about 4,000 of them are in intensive care units. the other way they're handling this is through aggressive testing. this is dodger stadium, the largest covid-19 testing site in the nation. i'm going to bring in two volunteers, daniel and chris at a. they've been at the front lines of this testing, especially in many of the poor neighborhoods in los angeles, making sure that everybody gets tested. one of the things that you were fighting against is where you would say would be a wives tale, something that went through the latino community. what's something you heard that was astounding. >> we were at a mobile testing site. a lady asked about the test and if we're sticking a needle through the head. she's getting this information and someone else is giving this information. we really want to clear this up and we really want to tell community not to b

give us a wave, fred and fred, i really do enjoy the show, but i also think you know the normal size of holdups here and i think it's a little aggressive that you sent one this big for your show and i would just wonder if you'd like to take a moment to explain that i see what you're doing, fred, and i don't really appreciate it our next guest tonight is emmy and golden globe-nominated actress for her work on nbc's "this is us," which returns with new shows in january her new holiday songs released is a two-track single, "how could this be christmas," are available now. please welcome back to the show our friend mandy moore hi, mandy. how are you? >> i am well how are you? >> seth: i'm doing wonderfully this has been a weird time in between your visits to the show. the last time you were here was in september 2016. so you have waited for the entire trump presidency until you came back. >> i know! i just completely, like, wanted to boycott the show, i guess, during the trump presidency. >> seth: you were like, "i don't want to have any part of that. >> no. >> seth: it's lovely to see y

back to you now, fred. >> all right. thank you so much, paul vercammen, in los angeles. >>> goinging is a doctor, professor of medicine at george washington university. always good to see you. let's begin with the hope in the vaccines. can you talk about how extraordinary this is to have not just one but two vaccines authorized for emergency use less than a year binto this pandemic? >> that's the silver lining in this crisis showing you we as human beings nationally and internationally decide that we are going to work together across sectors, across all kinds of different research facilities, sign tests, physicians, public health personnel that we can get something done and come up with a vaccine. it seems like it came up quickly but the reality is that the research in this particular field has been going on for this kind of vaccine for at least a decade or more but yes at the right time we will celebrate it. we are so anxious to get it out into people's arms. i think we will have a big celebration when things get back i

former national security council chief of staff fred fleitz. fred, it is extraordinary. hunter himself confirming that the investigation is ongoing and now you have not only joe biden but you also have all these intel officials, these former intel officials, people like john brennan, et cetera, standing by their comments that this is all russian disinformation. i mean, it, it clearly, they're just, they have got blinders on. they're not admitting what everybody knows to be the truth. there is an investigation going on. >> no, they don't have blinders on. they're lying. they know very well this is not russian disinformation. this is a deliberate effort by liberal intelligence officers to lie during the presidential campaign to hurt donald trump and to help joe biden. they knew there was nothing to this russia link. biden knows that too. david: it is really extraordinary though in light of the fact we now know and have confirmed there are investigations ongoing. meanwhile you also have denial about the eric swalwell story and the fact that he was seduced by a chinese spy a

. >> thank you, fred. president-elect biden has spoken of democracies and organizing principles for american foreign policy. boris johnson announced he wants to change the g7 summit into a g 10 summit, inviting india, south korea and australia to join. indians -- india's prime minister has talked about the united states and europe as being democratic partners. now, the biden administration is about to make the transition from campaigning to governing. so this panel addressing the issues features two experienced practitioners of foreign policy. how we take principles of articles, andes, transform them into policy that achieves good results. democracy is an organizing principle that has been at the heart of some of the best american foreign policy and in , partnership with europe and other great democracies for 75 years. but no organizing principle is a guarantee against policy failures, and it doesn't execute itself, it needs help. had to go from principles to reality, how to avoid the traps , is going to b

fred, always great to see you. how does a guy like eric swalwell who's like this unknown junior city councilman suddenly get elected, apparently with the help of this suspected chinese spy, to congress, and he gets placed on one of the most important committees of all, the intelligence committee, with absolutely no experience in national security or intelligence? >> it's very strange. i was on the house intelligence committee staff for five years. it's a very hard committee for congressmen to get on. they tend to have either a lot of senior few or some type of national security credential. he was elected in 2012, fang actively-ed raise money to get -- helped raise money to get him elected. he was put on the intelligence committee in january 2014 while he was still friends with fang. and i think we have to ask questions about dud fang ask him to get -- did fang ask him to get on the committee, did she maybe coach him or help him get on the committee? we know they still had some type of relationship. maybe it was jus

fred, what is the behavior telling you? frederick: the behavior is telling me everything is pretty good, that the rest -- that investors are well aware of what is going on and aren't making many mistakes right now. they made mistakes earlier in the year, but i think they have corrected themselves. fred, what are you analyzing to get that gauge of sentiment? retail sentiment? whose behavior are you studying? frederick: we study the insiders ' behavior as well as results companies produce. if you look back to march of this year, you see record events of insider activity by insiders, buying up a lot of the stock that was being decimated in the market because of covid. and it looks like it was a pretty good bet right now. that is the kind of behavior we are looking at an kind of investors appointed time when you get extreme emotional reactance to the marketplace. joe: we were joking about pricing tesla in bitcoin, and we said in the intro that we used exuberance, throwing that word around. but maybe one day we will look at this

we have deneen borelli, tom del beccaro, fred fleitz and matthew whitaker. we'll get you update on joe biden's criticisms of president trump's response when biden track record on pandemic not state of the art. scientists applaud trump's "operation warp speed" which biden attacked on the campaign trail. we have breaking news. reports coming in senator mitch mcconnell is introducing a new bill with 2000-dollar relief checks in it but with strings attached. like repealing liability protections for big tech like google and facebook and also demanding a new study on voter fraud. we'll break down the worst lockdown hypocrites, politicians who broke covid-19 shutdown rules that they demanded for everybody else. we've got even more examples of the abuse of small businesses under botched lockdowns. and, we're going to get you updated on the georgia senate runoff that will determine the direction of the country for the next four years. mudslinging has taken a turn for the worse in this race in georgia. you won't believe what democrats are being accused of now. plus 20
